Hi Everyone All resolved and purrs like a kitten now :) John I did test the fuel pressure, however I mustn't have tested it when I bypassed the fuel pump relay to manually turn on the fuel pump on. Paul LOL. Yes, after I pulled apart the black assembly within the fuel pump assembly and saw...

Well I took out the fuel pump assembly, put it in a bowl of fuel with the swirl pot full as well and connected 12V. No fuel came out of the nozzle, so I thought it may be the regulator packing up. I took out the spring from the regulator and extracted the fuel regulator (housed in the top of...

Hmmm... I took the crank pulley off to have a gander at the Camshaft Position Sensor (CMPS) and saw that the water pump had a drip and it finished right above the connector for the CMPS. The CMPS now has a fabricated tin cover until I have the time to install a new waterpump. I cleaned...

Hi Everyone Thanks for the responses :) jafir/RoverbyProxy: Yep, installed correctly. Even looked at the signal from the CKPS and it's a perfect sine wave. seventyfive: Will check all those things regarding the engine compartment fuse box today and report back (currently it's 7:15am here in...

Hi Mike I pulled all relays and checked them by supplying each relay coil with 12V and they're switching fine, however I haven't checked the MAF for a 12V supply. I did test at least one other relay's hot side of the coil (not the switch) and it was 12V, however at least one other relay is...

Hi Paul I'm probably calling it the wrong thing...maybe it should be called a secondary fuel cut-off :) The quote I mentioned above: "...the ECM looks for a coded signal from the BCU. If the signal is not received within one second of cranking, the fuel supply to the engine is stopped and the...

Hi Peter Maybe it's not the camshaft sensor, but the signal I'm getting on the oscilloscope definitely isn't a sine wave...or a square wave for that matter. It's a very very noisy signal. I'm going to try and disconnect the sensor and clean everything up as there's oil everywhere down near the...

Well, I just checked the signal from the camshaft sensor and I'd probably get a better signal if I just let it drag loose on the ground. It looks like I have to take the crankshaft pulley off to access the bloody thing. Anyone does this job easily before and have any tips?

I have an oscilloscope, so I'll connect that and see what signal I'm getting from the camshaft sensor. Cheers :)

Yes. Shifted through all gears as well and it indicates the correct gear accordingly.

Yes. I actually thought about trying the spare one but didn't. Looking right now for the procedures to do it manually.

Hi Everyone Thought I'd see if there's any guru's here to help solve this PITA issue. Anyhow, here's the basics: 1999 D2 Symptoms Does crank Does have spark Does run if I spray starter down the throttle body No DTC's How it died On the freeway and put my foot down. At the lights it was...

Hi I've been on this board for some time now, however whenever I try to log into www.discoweb.org these days, I get the message: "The administrator has banned your IP address because of spam activities from your IP range. Contact your internet service provider." I've also owned an ISP in the...

Mongo Thanks for that as I wasn't 100% sure how the thermistor was wired into the circuit. From various circuits I have designed over the years, I have found that measuring resistance values at test points can be prone to error due to IC's and switching circuitry working with certain threshold...

Hi all, Well, I replaced the Pierburg MAF yesterday and it's all running perfectly again. rovercanus: Yes, it's AU$531 for a MAF and the housing, thus the reason why I built a hybrid Bosch/Pierburg solution. I HATE PONIES: No 4th gear ratio codes. Just the P0171 and P0174 codes. Mongo: Yes...
